UPDATES! Michael Barisone Released! FREEDOM! Plus Insurance Settlement

In this case, someone said, “When I grow up, I want to be a mean bully just like my father.”

For all we know, that is also where she learned to be a grifter.

I guess it could be said “Learned by Example”

Yes. They did not have enough information. I really believe it was a compromise based on one, maybe 2, holdouts.

Having been on a murder trial jury, it’s hard. You have to follow the rules based on the evidence provided. In this case, based on lack of forensics and druggie liars, I would have been firmly in “not guilty” side.

The sworn statement given by Steven Tarshis, describing the bizarre instance of the Kanarek’s approaching him at his private table when he had guests at a horse show, and his belief that some of his conversations were being recorded without his permission, is public record.

I think this uncouth, boorish behavior by the K’s will give people an idea of who they really are, and I hope it will be noticed by the journalists.

@ekat, will you please show us Tarshis’ statement?

To whom are you speaking?

And your point is?

Not really. She targeted a bunch of people to be on the receiving end of her behavior for any number of reasons, but mostly because she has an aggression issue.

I, on the other hand, targeted only Lauren herself with some harsh verbal tactics. That’s it. I didn’t wreck her life, ruin her business, slander her or drive her from her home. I just pointed out some obvious unflattering things about her behavior and personal history. The two things aren’t remotely comparable.

I’m glad we agree on how pathetic Lauren’s behavior is. Since you acknowledge this, I remain mystified as to why you have consistently enabled her behavior on these forums over the years, and made excuses for her and her family. Empathy is one thing. Enabling and excuses are another.

Oh gosh. I’ve never imitated her behavior. I have my own rhetorical style which is quite different from Lauren’s. And she certainly never hit me. Hardly. She focused her rage and nastiness on MB, MHG, and people who defended them. I was a Johnny come lately who mostly only began engaging on these threads once the trial got started in Spring of 2022. She was banned pretty swiftly after that. So I e not been harsh about Lauren because she lashed out at me… nope. I’ve been harsh because she bullied and harassed other people. I think it’s important to stand up to stuff like that. So that’s what I have done.

I hope Netflix digs into the missing illegal recordings and transcripts and why the Ks never responded to their subpoenas in the civil suit… that THEY initiated.

This.

One of the things that really stunned me about this whole saga was the fact that Lauren’s family created alters and came onto these forums, and egged her on, and backed her antics up.

After Lauren herself was banned… they continued on with this nonsense.

Lauren’s family should push her into therapy. They should not be enabling her crazy self destructive behavior.

I’m sure it’s tempting after the shooting to blame it all on the shooting, and make excuses about how she is a victim and traumatized, but the truth is she has had behavioral problems for years. Her arrest record is extensive and she has been prolific online.

It’s actually pretty sad that her family hasn’t tried harder to get her to pursue a less self destructive course.

One of the more mystifying things in the very public record of the civil suit!

Honestly, that filing by Mr Deininger has many, many interesting things. Like, dear old Dad, Jonathan Kanarek, texting Haha…maybe they’ll be homeless.

It would be a shame if Netflix stumbled on this public doc.

Subject change -

I’d love to know what Michael’s first 24 hours of almost total freedom was like. Where did he go, what did he chose to eat first, what was his first night sleeping away from havoc in a mental hospital like, etc? Of course I guess I should already know the answers to my questions since I supposedly speak with LO several times a day, but alas, I bet she’s preoccupied.

IMHO, CH gets their rocks off every.single.time they’ve written those words (‘he shot her’).

To counterbalance this nonsense, it’s nice to see that your first post back here on this thread has 58 likes… you were missed!

I hope someone can give Netflix the CliffNotes version of this saga and all the unanswered questions…

The jury as finder of fact determined that he shot LK.

The jury is selected partly on the basis of impartiality. Would you have passed a challenge by the state on your impartiality?

I know it’s a moot point as you don’t live in NJ. But I don’t you think you’re impartial.

Why would I dig? As I said, I can’t be bothered (arsed) to dig.

Rule of Kanarek Club #2. Maybe it should be rule number 1.

I hope he got to have a delicious meal. I hope he didn’t have that gnawing feeling that he would have to go back, because his day pass was almost up. I hope he got to look forward, and didn’t have to think about going back. I hope he saw a horse, and got to pet a dog, and really felt the sunshine (as much as you can feel sunshine in New Jersey in November). I hope the air smelled sweeter than it has in a long time.

It doesn’t matter though. Because the verdict was NGRI and NG , and now he’s getting released from Greystone, and it’s probably only a matter of time until he is totally free and clear of the Krol process and 100% released.

MB just has to keep on working with his mental health team and keep on making excellent progress. I’m sure he will be back in Florida in no time.

Humans may I suggest that we do not let one particular poster take away the joy that we feel.

And what is better than the best revenge but being happy and I am still a happy, happy pony.

So no matter how hard the try is to dig at us with personal attacks and bang the out of tune drum with the same old push the narrative it doesn’t change the fact that, as the updated title of this thread reads.

FREEDOM!!!
